Much like Skaven they've had periods of relative normality punctuated by periods where their army list just makes you say "Wait, it does what?"

I have no idea what the Skaven are like now, but to a lesser or greater degree their army list has always been mostly about the bizarre crap, which is what makes Skaven so fun. I used to play against a guy with a Skaven army that actually managed to destroy itself without taking anything more than a bit of desultory first turn Night Goblin missile fire. I can't remember the exact litany of misfortune that overcame him, though I definitely remember it began with some extremely bad roll on the Screaming Bell which caused large numbers of his own units heads to explode.
Also I could have sworn they got rid of Noise Marines and Doom Rider. Did they bring them back? Does Doom Rider not suck now? Should this be a new thread?
David_Dovey:
yes

Me neither. I just mostly remember being annoyed when I heard doomwheels were given the boot even though I wasn't really into Warhammer at the time. I think they're back in these days though, but don't quote me on it. Anyway, people always seemed to whine about Skaven in my area back in the late '90s and the internet often echoed their complaints. A contingent seemed to think everything but the gutter rats and assassin themed stuff was too stupid to live. Which honestly, always hit me as pretty god damned farcical considering that their vision of what they wanted skaven to be basically boiled down to "ZOMG, NINJAS!". Fuck that.
KharBevNor:
Part of what drew me to WFB was the ridiculous stuff. I used to play Orcs and Goblins ffs. I had a home-made Snotling Pump Wagon.
Alex C:
I wanted a skaven army so fuckin' bad. But my friends wanted to play 40k instead and as much as I wanted some poison wind globadiers I also wanted something I'd have a chance to play.
